Prime time to BD?

Hey ladies, if you've gotten to this point in TTC without obsessing over statistics, I commend you. I also don't understand you at all, but hey! Here's something for the information-obsessed like me.

The four days before ovulation hold the highest chance of getting pregnant! How many times have you heard "I must be fertile Myrtle. We only had sex once that week, and it was days before ovulation!"?

Turns out, that's exactly what we should be doing! Once your ovary releases an egg, there's only 12-24 hours before the egg completely breaks down. To ensure fertilization, sperm must be waiting in the fallopian tubes. So don't wait for O-day; get busy now!

Very good information. I kind of knew this but I didn't know the exact statistics so that's awesome. I know most people say to BD every other day but this month we decided to BD every day so we shall see :] Hopefully one of his guys hung out to meet the egg haha. Best of luck to you!

I'd realllly like to believe that the reason for no BFP last month was because DH and I were fighting (in other words, I was mad at him, and he was clueless), so we only had sex on O day that week. So, thanks for posting this! It helps that my blame may be falling on the right thing.
